My car: 1997 960 Wagon, 51K Miles, recently completely tuned, don't drive it too much
Problem: Went to drive the car for the first time in a week or so, but it spittered, sputtered and was blowing blue smoke. I plugged a computer gizmo thingy which told me the #3 sparkplug was misfiring. I removed plug. The bottom was wet with gas. I replaced, tried to start, now it's making a knocking noise.
Like I said, the car was recently tuned up. I really try to take car of the brick. Recently had oil changed.
Anyway- I'm really miffed and pissed. Has anyone out there encountered this problem and if so, do you have a possible solution for me? Could it be the electronic thing attached to the top of the spark plug that's bad or something?
Thanks in advance for your help.
